The story of the young Ballinger family who arrived out west to homestead a small ranch. Trouble shows up early when Martin's only two horses are stolen off his land. Then, one cold night Martin, Adeline, and son Clinton find themselves looking down the gun barrel of an angry stranger, demanding food and shelter. Trapped together by a violent storm, the stranger and the Ballingers become grudging allies and join forces against the real enemy, neighboring rancher Sam Jackson and the ruthless cattlemen at his command.
